The Rosie Project

Don Tillman is getting married.

He just doesn’t know who to yet.

The Wife Project will solve that problem. He has designed a sixteen-page questionnaire to help him find the perfect partner.

She will most definitely not be a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker or a late-arriver.

ROSIE JARMAN is all these things. She is also fiery and intelligent and beautiful. And on a quest of her own, to find her biological father-a search that Don, a professor of genetics, just might be able to help her with.

The Wife Project teaches Don some unexpected things.

Why earlobe length is an inadequate predictor of sexual attraction. Why ice-cream tastes different in New York. Why he’s never been on a second date. And why, despite the best scientific efforts, you don’t find love: love finds you.
